dropline GNOME 3.14
Here will be described the process on how to build dropline GNOME 3.14
Base system requirements
The base systems requirements will be as always:
- latest stable slackware system at the release time of gnome 3.14, most probably slackware 14.1 or slackware 14.2.
- full install of all the packages without KDE group and removepkg the following:
- seamonkey
- seamonkey-solibs
Shadow
We do build shadow against pam, the script right now supply a login.defs.new modified.
Before we have simply replaced the slackware one with the one supplied by dropline.
A question is, what is better, do replace it as before, or supply our one with .new extension and point the user to replace its own.
Probably the first solution is better as this will preven the appearance of about 10 lines of text of errors during login time. Probably lots of users will complain on that.
Thai support for pango
If we want the Thai language support we should be including libthai(linux.thai.net) in the build and rebuild pango with it. In case we have to build libthai before pango, for now I will leave it out, as I do not know if we have any Thai users at all.
Known additions not in slackware release

python3

pam, cracklib - as always those are needed due to gdm and some other stuff.
-
